Closed for Now . . .

What a week it has been! Last week we were hosting Euchre Night and getting ready to take our retail stock to Tennessee Game Days. Then the tornadoes of March 2 hit and changed everything.

Thank you for all the messages of concern we received. We were truly luck that Bongo East / Game Point was minimally damaged in the storms. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about our neighborhood. There will be a lot of rebuilding that needs to be done!

For the immediate time being, we are closed. Our equipment is intact and the game library survived the winds, but we are without power, internet and access to the building. We will keep you abreast of developments here and on our social media.

In the meantime, please help those that you can – donate some time or money to those effected by the storms. We look forward to seeing you around the gaming tables sometime soon!

Catan Final Prelim Rankings

Thanks to everyone that came out over our three nights of preliminaries for the Catan National Championships! We saw a lot of great games played over the course of the three evenings – including one perfect 3-0 result!!

Next steps: check the rankings, if your name is above the line you are in the top 16 players and are invited to come back to Game Point on Monday February 10th. Starting at 7 pm, we will organize into four semifinal games – the winner of each of those games will then move to the final game. That winner will be our Game Point representative and headed to Origins for the National Champs!

If you aren’t in the top 16, please show up. We always have some people not able to make it and we will fill those spots in order of rankings. I already know of at least one finalist that can’t make it.

Thanks for coming out – if you didn’t qualify, or just want to play some more Catan, there will be another qualifier as part of Tennessee Game Days – the first weekend in March!

Catan Qualifiers – Standings After Round 2

Last evening we saw another round of competitive and entertaining games of Catan! We also had one player with a PERFECT NIGHT – three wins!

We have tallied the scores and now have the current standings going into the final night. Remember, we only count your best NIGHT – if you play in round three and do better than your previous efforts that will be your entry in the final standings.

After Sunday’s Round Three, the top 16 people will be invited back for the finals on February 10th. If you are on the cusp, you should show up that night – I already know of one player in the top rankings that might not be able to make it, I’m sure there might be others.

Final Round will be this Sunday at Game Point (we will have the other BIG GAME on a television that we are bringing in for the evening). Final standings will be up sometime Monday, February 3rd. Good Luck

*The Road to the 2020 Championships begins at Game Point!*

On Wednesday, January 22nd, the 2020 Game Point Qualifier for the U.S. Catan National Championship kicked off Round 1. Although we started slightly later than anticipated (sorry again and thanks for your patience!), a great night of Catan was had . We saw lots of different winners across the three games, and a couple people that challenged to sweep the night!

Our top 16 players will be invited back for the semifinal and final games on Monday, February 10th. Players are invited to compete in as many qualifier evenings as they wish, but only your best night will be counted.

Hope you’ll come out and play some Catan!

Catan Qualifier – Standings Update

We have had two very competitive rounds of qualifiers for the Game Point Catan Championship. The top 16 players will be invited back on February 19th to play in the semifinals and then the final game to crown the Game Point Catan Champ – who will go on to compete in the U.S. National Championship! Our final qualifier is Sunday, February 17th. Good luck to all the competitors!
